Shark Tank will soon be returning to ABC with its thirteenth season. Like every season, the show will welcome “guest sharks” to bring in outside perspectives while choosing the right business to invest in. This time, the new faces are Emma Grede, Kevin Hart, Peter Jones, and Nirav Tolia.
While all these guests are already quite well known in the business industry, Grede’s presence in the show helps Shark Tank create history by featuring the first black female guest on the show in all these years.
The official synopsis of Shark Tank reads:
“The Sharks give budding entrepreneurs the chance to secure business deals that could make them millionaires.”
Who is Emma Grede?
Emma Grede is the founder and CEO of US-based apparel label Good American. She co-founded the company with Khloe Kardashian in 2016. Along with the popular denim brand, she is also a founding partner of Kardashian’s shapewear label, SKIMS. Apparently, her company's products promote a healthy body ideal and body acceptance.
Speaking about the diversity in Good American, Grede said:
“I thought, ‘Wouldn't it be amazing if we created a company where we made clothes for every woman, and the company looked exactly like the 'diverse' campaign, with me at the helm, a Black woman?’, and it worked.”
Emma's achievements do not stop there. Grede is also ITB Group chairman (founded in 2008) and an ambassador for the nonprofit humanitarian organization Women for Women International.
As for her personal life, the Shark Tank guest is a British national who currently lives in Los Angeles. Grede is married to Swedish entrepreneur Jens Grede and they have two children together.
